| description |
This article studies a specific genre of ritual songs among an indigenous people of Brazilian Amazonia, the Suruí of Rondônia. It analyses the influence of these songs on the construction of historical memory. Against theories that reduce the Lowland Indians to “cold societies” that would supposedly deny their own historicity and strive to forget their past, the article shows that these peoples have developed their own tools to select and pass down memories of some kinds of events. The rhetorical and aesthetical forms of these songs, their pragmatic uses, and the Suruí metalinguistic theories are analysed, so as to explain why this discursive genre can appear as the most perfect kind of speech, in the context of the initial composition of a song. Finally, the article examines the conversational uses of quotations of old songs in historical accounts and shows that the narrative structure, particularly the connections between the evoked events, are determined by the rhetorical and aesthetical properties of the quoted songs. |

Este artículo estudia un género de cantos rituales de un pueblo indígena de la Amazonía brasileña, el Surui de Rondônia, para analizar su papel en la construcción de la memoria histórica. El artículo pretende demostrar que, contrariamente a las teorías que afirman que los grupos de tierras bajas constituirían "sociedades frías" que negarían su historicidad e intentarían olvidar su pasado, estos pueblos han desarrollado sus propios instrumentos para seleccionar y transmitir memorias de algunos tipos de acontecimientos. El artículo presenta las formas retóricas y estéticas de estas canciones, sus usos pragmáticos y las teorías metalingüísticas de los Surui sobre este arte verbal para explicar por qué este género discursivo representa la forma más perfecta de hablar en el contexto de la composición inicial de una canción. Finalmente, el artículo examina los usos conversacionales de citas de cantos antiguos en relatos históricos para mostrar que las estructuras narrativas, en particular las conexiones entre eventos evocados, están determinadas por las propiedades retóricas y estéticas de los cantos citados.
